1 marks the window frame, and 2 a sash mounted in the frame, this beingusually I stormed of metal. A portion'ot the sash is open at 3 and aswinging sash t mounted in this opening. The swinging sash is mounted onhinges 5 at each side of the sash and has a pivotal axis at6. The upperrail ofthe swinging sash has a closure lip 7 and thelower rail a closurelip 8, the lip 7 being adapted to close on the inner face of the sashand the outer lip on. the outer face of the sash. The frame of the upperscreen is placed against sidestiles 9 of the mainsash the upper of thescreen engaging a cap plate 1.0 arranged in themain sash and againstwhich the swinging sash closes. v

Hooks 11 are securedto the inner. faces of p the side stiles of theupper screen, these hooks engaging the side stiles 9 of the 11121111frame.

A securing clip 12 having a bottom inwardly extending linger 13 and anupwardly extending finger 14. engages the hook 11, the rearwardlyextending fingercontacting a rib 17 in the edges of the opening in themain sash and the upwardly extending finger projecting behind the hook11 and engaging the upper 1927. serial nojisaiesf I COMPANY, or ERIE,rnNnsYL end of the hookso as to not-only retain the screenagainstthestiles of the main frame but'to support it vertically Adistancepiec'e 15 is arranged back ofthe clip 12 and a screw 16 extends,through the rib 17 distance piece 15,fand,into the clip 12.

In order to maintain aclosure between the bottom rail of the screen andthe swinging window as the window swings a closure piece '18 i providedThis is slidingly mounted as the bottom rail of the screen. It-has, anin 3 wardly extending lip 19 which contactsthe glass of the swingingsash. It has a'n inward-v lyextending flange 2l which extends over thetop of the bottom rail. Bolts 22 extend though the flange 21 and the lip19 thus slidingly securing the piece 1801c the bottom rail.

The bolts extend; through plate springs 23; the plate springs yieldinglyholding the 010 surepieces in their lowerpositions. ;,When the window isopened the glass in contact with the lip .19 swinging on the axisat 6gradually rises and this lifts the closure piece whilemaintainin'gcontact:

The lower screen closing thebottom of the opening in the main sash. hasa frame 24.

This is seated against the inner edges 25 of the side stiles of the mainsash 9. The clips 12 are pivotally secured by screws 27 on the sidestiles 9 andareswung over the faces of the frames 2% so as to securethemagainst the side stiles. A closure piece 28 has downwardly extendingears 28 overlapping the side stiles of the frarne2 l which aresecured bypivot pins 29 onthe frames 24, the axis of the pivot pinscoinciding withthe axis 6 of the swinging sash. The closure piece 28 has notches 3Oadaptedto receive the window bars of the swinging sash and a downwardlyextending lip 31 engaging. the glass. An operating clip 32 has an angleportion 33 secured to the plate 28. It has a bent portion 3% engagingone of the cross bars of the swinging sash and thus locks the plate 28so as to swing with the swinging sash.

An angle piece 35 extends across the bottom oI the opening in the mainsash and,

forms a. face for the bottom rail of the lower screen. A clip 36 issecured to the angle plate 35 and engages the bottom rail, thus securingthe frame 24 against displacement vertically and the bottom of suchframe from displacement inwardly from the window.

With this structure it will be seen that as the main window is swung thescreens automatically maintain contact and closure.

What we claim as new is 1. The combination with a swinging wind O W of ascreen frame; and a closure piece slidingly mounted; on the lower railof theframe adapted to maintain contact with swinging window as it isswung. 2. The combination with. a swinging win- 7 dow of a screen frame;and a closure piece having a notched window bar receiving lip slidin'glymounted on the bottom rail of the screen and adapted to maintain contactwith a swinging window as it is swung.

3. The combination with a swinging windowot' a screen frame; a movableclosure piece secured to the bottom rail of the frame comprising aninwardly extending lip projecting belowrthe rail, andjan inwardlyextending flange extending above the rail; and bolts extending throughthe flange, rail, and lip slidingly' securing theclosure piece to therail. r V I 4. The combination with a swinging wino dow of a screenframe; a movable closure piece secured to the bottom rail of the framecomprisin an inwardly extending lip projecting belowthe rail, andan-inwardly extending flange extending above the rail; bolts extendingthrough theflange, rail and r lip slidingly securing the closure pieceto therail; and springs between the lip and the rail adapted toyieldingly hold the closure piece in its lower position.

In testimony whereof we have hereunto set. our hands. v
